Abstract
Embodiments identify heap-hoarding stack traces to optimize memory efficiency. Some embodiments can determine a length of time when heap usage by processes exceeds a threshold. Some embodiments may then determine heap information of the processes for the length of time, where the heap information comprise heap usage information for each interval in the length of time. Next, some embodiments can determine thread information of the one or more processes for the length of time, wherein determining the thread information comprises determining classes of threads and wherein the thread information comprises, for each of the classes of threads, thread intensity information for each of the intervals. Some embodiments may then correlate the heap information with the thread information to identify code that correspond to the heap usage exceeding the threshold. Some embodiments may then initiate actions associated with the code.
